Buttons, Boxes and Text go tiny with Internet Explorer 8

No comments October 3rd, 2009

Issue - The Buttons, text in the page, and text boxes where you enter user name, password, and search boxes may look tiny after upgrading to Internet Explorer 8.

Cause - This issue happens with one of the following:

1. Visual style option
2. CSS that was set by third party software
3. Add-ons

Resolution -

To resolve this issue, perform the following:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to Tools, Internet Options and choose the Advanced tab.
3. uncheck the “Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in webpages” option.
4. Click OK.

The above solution should resolve the issue. If the problem still persists, perform the following.

Download the IE8.CSS [Download Link] and perform the following:

1. Go to Internet Options, General tab.
2. Click Accessibility button.
3. Select Format documents using my style sheet and choose the ie8.css file
4. Click OK.

If the issue still persists, see if a browser add-on is causing the problem.

Start Internet Explorer without add-ons:

Right-click the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.

If the issue is resolved, then an incompatible browser add-on which was installed is causing the issue.
